The Call That Defies Logic
Acts 8:26-40
Philip was experiencing revival—crowds gathering, miracles happening, lives transformed. Then God said, "Leave it all and go to the desert." Desert roads are empty, isolated, the opposite of fruitful ministry. Yet Philip's immediate obedience positioned him for a divine appointment that would carry the gospel to Africa. God's instructions often contradict our human logic. He sees the bigger picture while we see only our immediate circumstances. When God's call doesn't align with your expectations or current success, remember: His ways are higher than ours. Obedience isn't about understanding everything; it's about trusting the One who does. Where is God asking you to go that makes no sense?
